2026 Mercedes-Benz GLA 250: Latches/locks/linkages recall
NHTSA campaign 26V134000 · 10 units potentially affected · filed Mar 6, 2026
What's wrong
Mercedes-Benz USA, LLC (MBUSA) is recalling certain 2026 GLA 250 vehicles. The bowden cable may have been incorrectly installed, which can prevent the door from opening from inside the vehicle.
Why it matters
A door that cannot be opened may trap occupants inside the vehicle, which can increase the risk of injury.
The fix
Dealers will inspect and repair the bowden cable assembly as necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed May 1, 2026. Owners may contact MBUSA customer service at 1-800-367-6372. Vehicle Identification Numbers (VINs) involved in this recall will be searchable on NHTSA.gov beginning March 13, 2026.
